Japanese folkhouses / Norman F. Carver.

Kalamazoo, Mich. : Documan Press, ©1984.

199 pages : illustrations (some color), map, plans ; 27 cm

"From timeless villages along the Inland Sea to primitive archetypes at Ise Shrine, from huge thatch-roofed farm houses near Kyoto to great manor houses in remote mountain towns, Japanese Folkhouses reveals an architecture of dramatic form, sophisticated space, and powerful structure. The 187 black & white and color photographs together with old drawings and succinct commentary document this ancient tradition's superb integration of architecture, culture, and nature - as well as its remarkable relevance to contemporary architecture. Now, despite a robust history more than two thousand years' old, this important folk tradition is rapidly vanishing before the onslaught of twentieth century technology and social change..."--Page 4 of cover.
